Some History........
We began our group to support each other in learning more about "going green". Almost immediately we were overwhelmed with interest from our friends and neighbors. Within a few months we realized that "Green Moms" wasn't a broad enough name as many others (like Dads!) wanted to belong. So, we have just recently updated from Medfield Green Moms to Medfield Green. We hope that people that are "all shades of green" join us at our meetings. Please join our email list to get complete information about upcoming meetings and events.
